The songwriting is very nice, but I'm not digging some of the new "modern" arrangements. Guess I'm getting old, eh? The part on 3:16 is the best one in the song imho

It's pretty clear their time doing the BlaqkAudio stuff has had an effect on how they approach stuff, it's even more in that electronic direction than Sing The Sorrow and Decemberunderground, but not in a bad way. It's surprisingly heavy too, compared to their post-Art Of Drowning stuff.

In all honesty I'd totally forgotten about AFI, haven't listened to them in years. STS was kinda-sorta okay, but starting down a path I didn't appreciate, and Decemberunderground was about 70% dogballs. But this is pretty rad, like a more intense STS track with more electronics.

I never got all the love for STS. The arrangements are all way more in-depth and less juvenile punk-y, and the last couple of songs totally destroy, but a lot of the songwriting on it just went way into that "we sound like all the other emo bands that are starting to get popular in 2002/2003" vibe. I don't mind that it's less heavy, just that it kind of lost a bit of the AFI "feel".
